Older adults use online dating sites in at least modest numbers, but dating app usage is effectively non-existent for people in their mid-forties and beyond.

The median ages for online dating site users and dating app users are illustrative in highlighting the age differences between each group.

Urban and suburban residents are more likely than rural residents to use online dating, and those who have attended college are around twice as likely to do so as are those who have not attended college.

Of course, only a portion of the population is in the market for a relationship at any given time.

One in every ten American adults has used an online dating site or a mobile dating app.We refer to these individuals throughout this report as “online daters,” and we define them in the following way: Taken together, 11% of all American adults have used either an online dating site or a mobile dating app and are classified as “online daters.” The questions we have used to measure online dating have evolved over the years, and as a result we cannot directly compare the size of the total online dating population to some of our earlier surveys on the subject.Since 85% of the population now goes online, that means that one out of every ten Americans (9%) has used an online dating site at one point or another.The college-educated and those in their mid-twenties through mid-forties are especially likely to use online dating sites.For the first time in our 2013 survey we asked specifically about the use of these cell phone dating apps.
